City Council CSAH 14 July 12, 2004 • right -turn lane should be considered at Centerville Road (CSAH 21 west) and other city streets as necessary. Eight -foot shoulders should be provided wherever possible (lake impacts will need to be evaluated). In the downtown area expansion of the shoulder to 10 feet to allow for parking will be considered. Trails or sidewalks on one or both sides will be part of the final design. Segment 3: Because of the high traffic volumes and high speeds between 20th Avenue (CSAH 21 west) and I -35E a four -lane divided urban section is proposed. The median will control access points and provide for protected left turn lanes. Shoulders and sidewalks or trials will also be part of the design. • Long Term Planning for Regional Access Improvements The "Full Build" traffic studies, discussed in Section 4.6 of the Alternatives Analysis Report, suggest that further roadway improvements beyond the reconstruction of CSAH 14 will be needed in the future. As the study area develops or other planning studies are initiated, the regional access improvements should be considered. This will be particularly important when parcels adjacent to the proposed northerly crossing of Peltier Lake or in the proposed interchange areas are considered for development. It is also recommended that the Inter - Regional Corridor Study Mn /DOT is currently working on consider the access changes proposed by this report. As recommended by the Federal Highways Administration (FHWA) and Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn /DOT), a phasing plan should be established to construct each piece of the overall improvement as it becomes necessary to maintain the serviceability of the transportation system. Additionally, the following steps should be taken as the opportunity is presented: 1) Inclusion of the crossing of Peltier Lake and proposed interchanges in future transportation and comprehensive plans 2) Preservation of right of way through an official map or other process 3) Right of way dedication through the platting process RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 04 -100, Adopting the Anoka County CSAH 14 Alternative Analysis Study.
